"Passing away" is a gentle way of referring to someone who died, but as Everglow said, you're not obliged to tell anyone any details you're not comfortable with.
 
 Both my parents are dead. Mostly I say to people "they passed away", and leave it at that. When they usually reply, "My condolences", or "I'm sorry", I just nod and say no more.
    
            
               
 “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” - Thomas A. Edison.
 Thomas Edison tried over two thousand times to invent the lightbulb.
